Gaudet Bros NOLA Pop-Up Barber Shop

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Many of you know that Micah Nickens has been doing a Gaudet Bros NOLA Pop-Up Salon for the last few months, and many of you have been using him.

There has been such a demand for guys’ cuts, that he has decided to take it 100% male-focused!

So now, every Monday and Tuesday, Gaudet Bros Pop-Up Barber Shop will be at the Merchant Café in the Maritime building – because at some point, you have to get a grown man’s hair cut.

9 am – 5 pm, men only, barber cuts and clean ups. Walk in or calls. To book you appointment, please call 225.387.8783.

Ladies – you can still book appointments with Micah, but you’ll have to make the drive to Baton Rouge.

Guadet Bros Pop-Up Barber Shop | Merchant Café | 800 Common St. | French Quarter | 225.387.8783
